"Have a good day," I smiled, handing a customer the hot cup of coffee, before taking the apron off and folding it neatly in my backpack.

"You can go home, Ross. It's already eleven," Roxy, my manager smiled as I nodded, taking the daily earnings before making my way out of the shop.

I locked it, and sprinted off to the orphanage. It's been two weeks since I decided to work here and ever since, I move from the shop at nine in the morning to go to Emily, then at eleven at night to spend about half an hour with her before I go back home.

I was soon at Emily's, with a bag of pastries hanging on my finger. climbing up the building she came in view in her white chiffon dress making me smile.

"Hello, angel," I said, getting my legs over the balcony to meet her. She smiled hugging me, taking me by surprise.

I melted into her body and its warmth and Huged back chuckling, kissing the side of her head making her sigh happily.

"So," I smiled right as we pulled away. She dragged me to the bed, patting a spot beside her as we started eating,"what's new? "

"Good news or bad news firstly? " she said, swallowing the bite of the sugar coated cake.

"Awh," I pouted, getting her to lean her head on my chest, her body resting on mine.  "Bad news?"

"But there are good ones.....?"

"Tell me what's up."

She nodded as I took the shirt off, getting her to press her back on my chest as I started playing with her hair.

"Uhm, well, Mrs. Harold might have, sort of, kinda threatened me."

"Why?" I inquired making her twist under me to be face to face with me.

"Whenever I mess up the tiniest bit, she says she'd call the cops to come and take me, as you know, I'm being chased," she bit her lip, making me stop mid bite, removing my hands from her hair.

Oh you've got to be kidding me.

"What're the good news?" I asked blankly as she slowly sat up, leaving the cake on the plate.  I noticed her body slowly shuddering, shaking with fear clear in her dark brown eyes.

"There...aren't any good news. I only told you that so you wouldn't completely freak out of me. Please don't hate me," she hid her face making me frown slowly.

I sometimes regret being born cause of Mrs. H.

"Em," I sat up, removing her hair from her arms, and of to the other side on her shoulder. "I don't hate you, Emily look at me."

I pulled her body closer to me as she looked up, her eyes filled with sadness and dread. She stood off he bed, leaning onto the wall as I looked at her sadly.

"You probably regret coming. I shouldn't have got you upset late at night," her voice cracked making me shake my head as I let out a sigh.

"The only thing u regret is not coming earlier. Hell, I regret leaving you here and getting adopted."

She cracked a smile, making my insides chirp and flip. "Thank you, Ross."

"You never needed to thank me. Really. I love you Emily. I really do," I paused, standing up to have her face inches away from me as our noses brushed. " And I'd give up the whole world just to make you feel better. Even if it was worth my eyes, my heart, my soul. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me."

She smiled, baring her teeth, her eyes fixed on my lips making me gulp. I smashed my lips with hers, tasting the love out of every lip lick.

I was drunken by her kiss. Dizzy by her hands on my neck as our lips worked in union. Happy that we were in that position.

"Yo, Ross." Riker called, his phone placed horizontally on his hands. "Come check this out."

I walked my way to him, standing behind his chair. I looked at his phone to find some strange video playing.

"What's that?"

"That's me banging a girl in the nearby forest," he smirked, making my eyes widen. He gave me the ear buds, as I hesitantly put them on to hear screams of pain coming from the girl.

All she was saying was stop, it hurts, please go, as she was pinned to a tree with her hands above her. I looked more closely to the phone to have my heart shattered in pieces. My eyes couldn't believe nor bare seeing who Riker was rapping.

No. It can't be.

But It was her.

It was angel. He ruined my Emily, my Angel. He sabotaged her.

"Dude," I said calmly not wanting drama to be caused around the house by me. "You shouldn't have done that."

"What do you mean? " he scoffed, snatching the phone along with the earphones away from me. "Who do you think you are, telling me what to do, huh?"

I started backing away from him as he screamed to my face.

"I just said what you're doing is wrong, why would you screw a girl like that? She's screaming in pain," I shrugged, raising my hands on defence as his face for even more red with anger.

I don't understand what got him so angry. If anything, I should've been the one to flip the house head over heels.

"what's going on?" I saw Rydel coming down, a worried look on her face.

"The newbie orphan is telling me what to do, and not 'have sex with girls in that way'," he paused before turning to me, grabbing my collar. "listen pretty boy, if you're going to give me orders in my house, you gotta-"

"Enough, Riker," she pushed his hands away from my shirt, taking me behind her. "You're over reacting. He was pointing out the truth."

She scoffed before taking me with her upstairs. She got me In her room, closing the door behind her as i sat in the bed. "Are you crazy?" She whisper shouted.

"B-but you didn't see it, Rydel. It was-"

"A guy once told Riker that he's nothing but a fuckboy, the boy returned home halt dead, his body full of scars," she cut me off, as I suddenly felt like tearing. My lip quivered as i looked up at her.

"He's the one who rapes Emily," a tear slid down my cheek. "He's been doing that a lot lately, Delly I didn't do that for nothing. I can't let him show me how he does that. He's hurting the only love of my life."

She looked at me, her mouth slightly hanging, as I started getting way too furious to the point where I started sobbing horribly.

I swear I'm not letting go off this one from him.
